Re: New Sci Fi Setting Seeds
Was that the one where the only thing on TV was talk shows because with VCRs you can watch what you want when you want? Or am I thinking of some other LN story?

Some of the Bioremidial Organisms (or Alicorns if you like.) Blue Daisies: Actually, in areas devoid of toxin, these Daisies look normal. However, if there is any Final War Toxin in the soil or water the Daisy is in contact with, the flower petals turn blue and the Daisy's eye turns reddish. If the toxin is at a dangerous level the flower petals will be an intense neon blue and the Daisy's eye will be blood red. More later I must go now.

Apidae
Apidae is a phenomenally dangerous world where the local insects from the clade Apidae (over 5,000 species of bees) will detect and attack without exception anyone who has traveled to Apidae through the use of hyperspace technology. In extreme cases, billions of members of Apidae will form psionic gestalts that manifest psychokinetic abilities capable of annihilating armored hyperspace devices in GSO.

Clearer Carp: These "Trash Fish" as fishermen call them, are tough and adaptable. Although the flesh of these fish absorbs and holds large amounts of the Final War Toxin. However, their genetically modified livers efficiently break down the Final War Toxin into harmless substrates with amazing efficiency. Lakes with populations of these carp soon become much cleaner (given how much of the Final War Toxin is out there, truly clean lakes are decades away). The Cleaner Carp have pale yellow spots on their bellies that turn dark red in high toxin waters. The Cleaner Carp are genetically designed to adjust their sex at need. Basically, the dominant fish is male and the others are female. The Cleaner Carp can switch their sex several times a season. Sunny Bees:These non-aggressive honeybees with nearly painless stings are amazing at gathering pollen and nectar and at pollination. They aren't actually all that good at survival if they have to deal with anything like normal insect populations. But, and this is a design feature, they're supposed to go extinct when they are no longer needed. Lavender Pearl Oysters:These thoroughly inedible oysters are designed to clean coastal waters. The Pearls are rarely seen, basically, prolonged exposure to water with no Final War Toxin causes these oysters to destroy themselves with vast numbers of weirdly colored pearls. So far these highly efficient cleaners haven't experienced much clean seawater. Still, they are creating vast amounts of clean seawater. More later...

Re: New Sci Fi Setting Seeds
Try this one...
The Final Wars have left the solar system dead and that vast sterility patrolled by killer drones run by implacable bitter AIs. Only a fool would even risk communicating with Earth's star system less these soulless murderers come to hunt you. We fled before the end and we know we weren't the only ones. Although FTL travel is known to be possible it requires materials that we haven't even begun to figure out how to make. Still, we can travel at .1 of C for decades. We can both rebuild and find the others. This is a Transhuman Stars setting. The PCs would be rebuilding civilization in a star system which might not allow a terraformable world. Assume that different cultures that refuse to respect each other are at odds with each other. Once you've got the starter star system really on edge, have the Americans show up in their new FTL starship. That will totally scramble the local politics.

The über powered Americans in their invincible FTL ship also feels like an excellent treatment of the Hegemony FORCE starship fleet that largely eradicated Covenant Maui'i in Hyperion's sad tale. |
